December Look Book

December is one of the best months for outfit planning as I feel like the whole month is one big special occasion! I created a little look book to share some of the outfits I will be wearing over the next few weeks. Recently I've been venturing out to try clothes shops that I've never really brought from and I've been surprised with the amount of gorgeous stuff I've found! As you will notice, I've developed a huge love for Marks & Spencer's clothing range; their pieces are so on point this season and range from beautifully coloured smart winter coats to figure loving sparkly party dresses! Their clothing line is quite affordable as well considering that the quality of their garments is impeccable. 

Look 1: Christmas shopping in town.

I think layering is perfect for the winter as you're never too sure when you're going to get too hot or too cold especially when it comes to stressful Christmas shopping! I absolutely adore this red coat, I love how tailored it is as it smartens up any casual outfit. Perfect for this season!

Look 2: Lunch with friends. 

I love mixing textures so this leather and knit ensemble is perfect for me! The leather skirt and boots give some edge to the preppy cosy knit jumper and camel coat. This coat is surprisingly from Tesco and is retailed at £40 (maybe a bit less) so it's without a doubt an amazing bargain!

Look 3: Christmas drinks/works dos. 

When going out for drinks, you can never go wrong with a simple outfit like jeans and heels! Snake print is my favourite print and these heels are to die for! My Guess clutch was a splurge item but it is one of my best investments; it's big enough to fit everything in for a night out and the studding detail accessorises every evening outfit so well! 

Clothing: 

- Topshop black Joni Jeans 

- Wallis burgundy wrap over blouse 

- M&S snake print court heels 

- Guess black studded clutch 

Make-up:

- Maybelline color tattoo cream shadows in On & On Bronze and Vintage Plum

Look 4: Christmas Day.

I think it is so important to be comfy and cosy on Christmas Day so you can't go wrong with a big knitted jumper and Christmas socks! Perfect for hiding a roast turkey tummy! 

Clothing:

- Topshop black Joni Jeans

- M&S grey knitted jumper 

- M&S cosy knitted Christmas socks

Look 5: New Year's Eve party.

New Year's Eve is one of the best celebrations in my eyes so there's nothing better than getting dressed up in a gorgeous party dress! The gold baroque print on this dress is stunning!

- M&S gold baroque party dress

- New Look studded heels

- Missguided black clutch
